Lexus is not cheap to maintain,fuel consumption alone is sickening.Do you know how much the radiator of Lexus RX300 cost?

Cars should be compared based on the average and common models.And not basing analyses on the cost of the mirror or head light of a new model.

Mercedes Benz is the cheapest to maintain,you Can get a c-class engine for as low as 50k.you can easily get grade A Belgium parts for different models.

Toyota is also cheap to maintain,parts are cheap and available.low fuel consumption

Honda cars are quite unreliable,the parts are cheap and available but you will be visiting the mechanic frequently. same with Voltzwagen.

Kia is very difficult to maintain,you can't even get their parts to buy as Belgium.

Fuel consumption of any car is a variable that depends on loads of factors so its not a yard stick to measure any car's efficiency rather the Engine capacity is a bench mark.I notice lot of us here do not even k now the Engine capacity of the car they drive.you can not compare a camry 2.2 and a camry 1.8, they look same but different Engine size.
Most cars we term expensive to maintain is all due to myth In reality the so called cheaper cars are more expensive to maintain cos if we buy the original parts all of a sudden we will scream expensive, but cars like VW and Mer.BMW and Audi hardy have fake parts littering the mkts.

Just wait until it is linked to GEJ . Just wait .

Truth234:
It is a gradual process, the guys working with the Chinese at the assembly are Nigerians and sooner or later they will pick up. The problem is not sending them abroad for training, the issue is they don't usually come back after their training. So it's better to train them on-job here than to waste our scarce resource (dollar) on people that may likely not return.

The vast majority of them do return but the economy is not encouraging

symbianDON:

EPIJOE:
[b][/b] THE TRUTH IS, MOST VEHICLES BROUGHT IN TO THE COUNTRY AS TOKUNBO OR FAIRLY USED HAVE THERE ENGINES NOT PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND FOLLOW THIS OIL SPECIFICATIONS. SOME DEALERS CHANGE THE OILS THEMSELVES TO NEW MOBIL 1 OR 5W 30. WHICH IS OF A HIGH GRADE SYNTHENTIC OIL.WHEN THEY ARE PURCHASED TO CONVINCE THE BUYER. NOT KNOWING THAT A LOW QUALITY OIL IS BEEN USED FOR A LONG TIME. THAT IS WHY WHEN YOU OBSERVE A CLEAN ENGINE AND START SMOKING BETWEEN 1-7MONTHS OF PURCHASE YOU HAVE FALL VICTIM.

ONCE YOUR ENGINE IS GETTING OLD ADOPT SAE 40 BRAND OR 20W 50

Why make an uninformed post and let yourself look awful?
All vehicles brought from Europe and America are very well maintained .Cos it cost a great deal if your car broke down.we got MOT test,if ur car broke down in the middle of the rd there is a cost to call out a mechanic.There are Co2 test during the MOT.

DaimlerBen:
Does this sound like someone who wants to learn?

My guy I tire sef these kids eh, wetin we go do? nah to continue to teach them ni #Car is Energy Efficient

sholarb:
Op, good stuff. In addition, engine oil needs to cool before it can be safely changed. If engine is hot, wait about 30 to 45mins after engine has been turned off before attempting oil change. Alot of mechnics dont know/do this. Always enforce them to adhere for the sake of your engine.

The oil should be warm a bit though, just enough not to fry your hand though lol

gateleo:
I have this 1998 camry V6 with mileage 160k. The recommended oil was 5w30. Pls which oil should I go for? Some said I should buy Nigeria Mobil full snythentic 5w30 or 0w40. Can I also use Mobil XHP .

Kindly suggest plsssss

Plz use what your car requires

flecho:
Specifications are most important, as most engine can handle various viscosity.

Since you said that what is the specification for your own Engine?

Im going to book my Order sharp sharp

No car part is cheap in Nigeria unless you buy fake parts.

LeJeun3:

MrEverest:
Dont mind the rookies. Nigeria is a country filled with bigots, illiterates, religious fanatics and people of low IQ. They removed well experienced technocrats and brought in ignorant rookies yet they are surprised that everything has turned upside down!

Ofcos U ain't far frm the truth . They APC should have left people like the minister of finance and Agriculture . Those two where performing amd I would have had great respect for this FG .

DaimlerBen:
Are you even a science student?
Where did you pluck your knowledge from?

he is trying to learn something new

mayor2013:
"Tired" engine tired. Ecu tired. Is that the new vocabulary from kazeems . I heard brain box tired from a car user today

baralatie:
so efcc should let go of the case?

nop I never said that, but I said are they the EFCC having Nigerians at heart or doign thier own private thing? hence I said they might deliberately lose this case.

baralatie:
not necessarily!
if the company did do or shortchanged the delta state govt the efcc has legal standing to pursue this contract scam irrespective of whatever delta state wants to claim
if the senator lays claim to funds accruing from the firm as a result of the contract while in office then CCB/cct will have to be brought into the case against the senator
that is the reason why the lawyer that will handle this case will make serious money on this case.
all depends on the case file sent to court by the efcc and their power of their legal team

That was my stance, there are loads of goats who ate this yam, do you think they will all fight in the Mud?

MEGGATRON:
Money Good gan, i've gat to make this money. Olorun bless the hustle.

Hustle well

T4kbaba:
Let me educate you on this and l will give you a layman example.Let assume that you and l are travelling from Lagos to Ibadan on different cars, your car used 10liters of PMS and mine used 20liters . This means your car is energy efficient compare to mine .Another example is somebody that is using 200watts bulb and another person with 28watts bulb.Both of them will achieve the same objective which is light, but 28watts bulb is energy efficient. Energy conservation is about avoiding waste of energy, for instance, if you are not using light especially in the morning, switch it off.Both concept talks about reduction in the use of energy and they are one of sustainable development goals. Have a nice night bro.

Ok let me educate you further mayB not so in a lay mans term,
you gave two examples,
Light Bulb and car.
your car consumes X which is fuel
Light bulb on the other hand do not consume fuel it consumes Energy.
The term Energy efficient is never associated with cars but with Electric Bulb.
U can go down to basis, what the fuel for car and what the fuel for the light bulb.?
Back to JSS science, Fuel is anything that conbust to produce energy.
What do car produce at the End?
I bet by now you know the answer
How about light bulb, what does it produce? Energy, waht type?heat and light.
Now the only kind of energy produced by a car is Kinetic.,
So tell me whats the relationship btw Kinetic,heat and light Energy?

baralatie:
the case get skew skew!
is it the companies property as contained in the contract listed as assets or the senator was in violation of the CCB/cct act!
violation of contract terms is a serious offence entirely!
hmmmmm/
lawyer don hammer

They will deliberately lose this case again
